Quashing of fir registered under PC Act
12-Feb-2026 (In Criminal Law)
Sir, I have been arrested in pc act. Our chargesheet is produced before the court without production of a valid sanction from the competent authority. Can this be a ground of quashing of fir or discharge?
If there was no valid sanction from the competent authority before the court took cognizance, it can be a ground for discharge. However, FIR cannot be quashed merely on absence of sanction. We must first verify whether sanction exists on record and whether it was obtained before cognizance. Proper remedy would usually be filing discharge application before the Special Court.
